Here Are All the Songs in Netflix’s ‘Thelma the Unicorn’ Movie

Netflix’s “Thelma the Unicorn” soundtrack is sure to have you tapping your toes. Adapted from the children’s book of the same name by Aaron Blabey — the writer behind fellow best-selling children’s series turned feature film, “The Bad Guys” — the film follows the rise to fame for a talented pony with musical ambitions. When a fateful application of paint and glitter leaves her looking like a unicorn, Thelma seizes her chance to stand out from the crowd and make her dreams come true, voiced by Alabama Shakes’ lead vocalist Brittany Howard.

With a bonafide rockstar in the lead role, you better believe “Thelma the Unicorn’s” soundtrack is jam-packed with needle drops of all kinds — familiar favorites, covers of rock hits, and of course, plenty of original songs, several of which are co-written by Howard.

As for the sillier songs on the soundtrack, you might recognize a familiar name there as well. “Flight of the Conchords” star and Oscar-winning songwriter (“The Muppets”) Brett McKenzie wrote several of the tracks. McKenzie wrote four songs for the film. In fact, it’s a low-key reunion, because fellow “Conchords” frontman Jemaine Clement sings one of McKenzie’s songs, “3 C’s to Success.”

And co-director Jared Hess (“Napoleon Dynamite”) says there were even more than we saw in the final version. “He’d even written other ones that we weren’t able to squeeze into the film,” Hess told ComingSoon. “His comedic sensibility just totally lined up for what we were trying to do and kind of lampooning, I think, some of the shallow type of songs that you can find out there in the world when you get corrupted by showbiz.”
